It is found in rock VERY deep into the Earth which has been under an enormous amount of force for roughly one million years. It is also 100% Carbon, the same as Coal, so it is possible for Coal to be replaced by diamond.
But I doubt you will live to see it! :P
It is believed that it rains diamonds on Neptune and Uranus. The extreme pressure and temperatures in the atmosphere of these gas giants cause carbon in the form of diamonds to form and eventually fall as rain.
Diamonds form when they're under high pressure.
The vast majority of diamonds form within the Earth's lithospheric mantle at depths of around 150 to 190 km. Volcanic pipes bring them to the surface with kimberlite or lamproite in the pipes. Diamonds are formed from carbon.
The high pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle comes from the weight of overlying rocks and minerals pressing down on carbon deposits deep within the Earth. This pressure, combined with high temperature, causes the carbon atoms to crystallize and form diamonds over millions of years.
Overburden or lithostatic pressure.
Diamonds are the crystaline form of Carbon.
The possessive form for the plural noun diamonds is diamonds'.Example: I had the diamonds' settings checked by a jeweler.
No, diamonds are formed from carbon.
No form of chocolate contains diamonds.
Diamonds are a form of crystalline carbon which is an element.
Yes, diamonds are a form of carbon.
Diamonds can form slowly under deep pressure, or they can form very rapidly like when a volcanic eruption occurs.
Pave is a form of setting, and any gemstone can be set in this form, including diamonds with -- or without -- inclusions.
Graphite and diamonds
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.
All diamonds come from deep within the earth's core.
Yes, diamonds can be melted at extremely high temperatures and transformed into graphite, which is a different form of carbon.
